"Hay," Second Lieutenant Ito replied respectfully, and then hung up the phone.After hanging up the phone, Second Lieutenant Ito was still not relieved, and hurriedly left the headquarters and rushed to the North City Gate again, commanding the troops to strengthen the defense.In anxiety and panic, Second Lieutenant Ito waited on the city wall until dark, and even at night, Second Lieutenant Ito did not dare to relax in the slightest, for fear that the Eighth Route Army would take advantage of the darkness to sneak attack the county seat.But by eight o'clock in the evening, Second Lieutenant Ito could finally breathe a sigh of relief.Because after Mizushima Shaozo received the news, he hurried to Baxian County with reinforcements, but in a hurry, Mizushima Shaozo only brought a squadron of little devils, but with the strength of this squadron, it should be enough to guard the county seat of Baxian "Your Excellency Shaozuo, you are finally here." ”Second Lieutenant Ito said excitedly.Mizushima Shaozo nodded slightly and said, "How is the situation now?"
"Report to Your Excellency Shaozuo, the people of China have not attacked the county seat, everything is normal in the county seat, it seems that the people of China do not have the courage to attack the county seat at all. ”Second Lieutenant Ito replied respectfully."
Hmm" Mizushima Shaozo nodded and said: "But we can't be negligent, we must strengthen our precautions to prevent the people of China from sneaking up on the county seat." ”"Your Excellency Hay Shaozo has been tired all the way, so I will take you to the garrison headquarters to rest."
Second Lieutenant Ito said with a respectful face."
Don't worry" Mizushima Shaozuo waved his hand and said: "I didn't explain it on the phone during the day, you can tell me in detail about the situation of the Eighth Route Army that appeared in Baxian County." ”"Hai" Second Lieutenant Ito replied respectfully, and then said with a respectful face: "This morning, Captain Okada led his troops out of the city to encircle and suppress the Eighth Road, although he was ordered to stay in the county and did not participate in this battle, but he has learned the details of the incident from the mouths of the withdrawn Imperial soldiers and security teams.His Excellency Okada and his troops were blocked by the Eighth Route Army before they could reach the horse shop, and then they were besieged by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, which led to a crushing defeat.According to the humble understanding, this Eighth Route Army has about a few hundred people, and it is well-equipped and very tenacious in combat effectiveness, so it is undoubtedly the main force of the Eighth Route Army. ”"The main force of the Eighth Route Army" Mizushima Shaozo couldn't help frowning, thought about it carefully and said: "As far as I know, only in the southwest of Baxian County, Anxin, Gaoyang, and Renqiu are the main forces of the Eighth Route Army, and it seems that this Eighth Route Army should be the troops of the Second Army Division or the Third Army Division in the central Hebei region. ”"Your Excellency Hay Shaozo is wise."
Second Lieutenant Ito said with a respectful face.Mizushima Shaozo frowned and said with a worried face: "Why did this Tubalu go north into Baxian" Ensign Ito thought about it and said: "In my humble opinion, this Tubalu wants to continue to infiltrate the area around Baxian, and strive to develop Baxian County into their base." ”"Yo Xi, what you said is very reasonable, we must not allow these hateful dirt eight road plots to succeed."
Mizushima Shaozo gritted his teeth and said angrily."
Hai Yi thought that the imperial army should immediately mobilize troops to encircle and suppress this Tuba Road, and annihilate them all while their foothold was not stable, and completely strangle the idea of the Tuba Road going north to Pingnan in the cradle."
Second Lieutenant Ito said with a respectful face."
Yo Xi, what you said makes a lot of sense.It's just that our Mizushima Brigade is responsible for guarding several nearby counties, and it is simply impossible to mobilize sufficient troops to encircle and suppress this Tubalu. ”Mizushima Shaozo said with a frown and a look of embarrassment.Second Lieutenant Ito stood respectfully to the side, seeing Mizushima Shaoza frowning, as if thinking about something, he didn't dare to disturb Mizushima Shaosa's thoughts, and he didn't dare to say anything.Mizushima Shaozo thought about it, and finally sighed helplessly and said: "For today's plan, I can only ask His Excellency the General for help" Mizushima Shaozo is also helpless, after all, the Baxian garrison has lost more than 100 people, and if such a big thing happens, he can't hide it even if he wants to.Thinking of this, Mizushima Shaozo's mood became even more annoyed, and he waved his hand and said, "Go to the county garrison headquarters, I will call His Excellency the general in person." ”"Hai," Second Lieutenant Ito replied respectfully.Mizushima Shaosa hurried to the garrison headquarters, and then personally called Major General Sekawa Shiro, the commander of the 8th Independent Mixed Brigade in Beiping.This independent mixed Eighth Brigade has just been established, and the brigade headquarters is stationed in Beiping, and the troops are responsible for the defense of the surrounding areas of Beiping, especially the Pingnan area, especially along the Pinghan Railway.After receiving the news, Segawa Shiro was also very surprised, and at the same time realized the seriousness of the matter, and then ordered Mizushima Shaosa to strictly guard the counties and counties, and at the same time closely monitor the movements of the Eighth Route Army.After hanging up the phone, Segawa Shiro thought about it carefully, and immediately called Major General Yukio Kasawara, the new chief of staff of the North China Dispatch Army, that the Eighth Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade is a unit directly under the North China Dispatch Army Command, and if the troops have a major military operation, it is necessary to ask the Dispatch Army Headquarters, not to mention that this matter is enough to show that the Eighth Route Army in Hebei has the intention of expanding to the north, and Segawa Shiro feels that it is necessary to report this matter to the Dispatch Army Headquarters.After the phone was connected, Shiro Segawa briefly briefed Yukio Kasawara about the situation and his own judgment.After listening to this, Kasawara Yukio pondered for a while and said, "Segawa-kun, you should come to the headquarters right now. ”"Hai" Segawa Shiro responded respectfully, then hung up the phone, ordered the adjutant to hurry up and prepare the car, and hurried to the headquarters."
Kasawara-kun" Segawa Shiro said respectfully, although the two are both in the rank of major general, Segawa Shiro is only a brigade commander, and Kasawara Yukio is the chief of staff of the North China Dispatch Army, and his position is much higher than that of Segawa Shiro, so Segawa Shiro will be so respectful."
Segawa-kun, I have already reported the situation to His Excellency the Commander."
Yukio Kasahara nodded slightly and said."
What did Your Excellency Commander say," Segawa Shiro asked with an eager expression.Yukio Kasawara smiled and waved his hand and said, "Sekawa-kun, don't be in a hurry first, listen to me first."
Not only did the main force of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appear in the Baxian area, but the headquarters received news two days ago that the main force of the Eighth Route Army had also suddenly appeared in the Jinnan area.From this, it can be basically concluded that the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong did have the intention of expanding to the Pingnan and Jinnan areas, and if the Pingnan and Jinnan areas were developed into base areas by the Tu Eighth Road, it would inevitably bring greater trouble to the imperial army. ”Crying for the monthly pass, brothers to help support, thank you, aa2705221:
